[QUOTE="Andrezj, post: 1021340, member: 97580"] browser extension password manager's are insecure on multiple levels are you willing to put your valuable personal data on someone else's server and hope they keep it secure? (obviously millions of people are willing to turn their online financial authentication credentials to Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, LastPass, Bitwarden, etc - and yet they are incredulous whenever something goes wrong, such as a hack and data is stolen) there is no reason to think that bitwarden will get it any more right than lastpass in the long run, although bitwarden has not been hacked insofar as we know - assuming bitwarden would report it the problem with credentials stored locally in the browser's integrated password manager is that an infostealer will wisk them away, so there's that put your passwords into keepass portable and keep it stored in an encrypted vault on a usb flashdrive (and a backup drive in case you lose it) i've asked people why they will not do this and bascially the answer is always the same... "too lazy" [/QUOTE]
